Hearing and seeing the amount of young people who feel they have no choice except to take their own life is so incredibly heartbreaking, please reach out to someone, anyone if you’re struggling. You’re loved.
“I’m hauling. It’s a 55 and I’m going like 80 damn near. And there’s a state trooper. I fly past him and I hit the brakes, like, ‘Damn, he got me.’
“He looked at me, said, ‘Son, do you know how fast you were driving?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, I was a little bit over.’
“He took his glasses off and he just looked [and said], ‘You’re that Smith kid, right?’ I said, ‘Yes sir.’ He said, ‘Go Vols.’ He walked away and drove off like nothing happened.”
Rawlin Lee Tate Jr. from Woodland High School in Stockbridge, Georgia takes 31 AP courses & becomes the school’s first black Male valedictorian. He earned over $1.3 million in college scholarship offers & he had no grade below a 98 in high school and was top of his class for years.
CJ Allen was a projected Round 1 guy all year and hurt his knee on Nov 15th. He could’ve shut it down to prep for the draft, but he played 13 days after knee surgery because he loves football and couldn’t imagine not finishing with his guys.
That makes him a fucking dog.
Allen didn’t go through full workouts yesterday or at the combine because his knee is still swollen. When he made those decisions in November he either a) knew it was possible it could effect his draft process but loves football too much to care, or b) was too fixated on his responsibility as a leader and a player to worry about anything else.
However you do the math, he’s still a dog. Accounts like this want football players who love football right up until loving football changes how they workout in shorts.
My guess is that the NFL team who takes Allen will be the kind who values tape over combine hype, recognizes his excellent football IQ, and wants players who love football because they love it instead of loving football for what it can give them. Those are the kinds of front offices who usually compete for championships.
He seems to move just fine in pads

Quite a moment just now as we went to the 4th quarter… The Alabama band played on and on as UGA fans waited for Krypton. Eventually Georgia fans loudly booed. Then they began defiantly chanting UGA.
Then they put their 4’s up. Defiant energy from the Dawg fans here in Atlanta
